Runner's World Review

The LunarEclipse has an insole unlike any other in this guide. Where most are molded of layers of memory foam, the LunarEclipse's includes Nike's Fitsole technology, a plastic-backed sockliner that reinforces your arch. It essentially acts like an exoskeleton supporting your midfoot. High-arched testers raved about the shoe. "This shoe fit my foot very well," says 51-year old Joy Sargis of San Diego. "It had enough arch support and cushioning, but was light and did not feel bulky." The LunarEclipse has the sharpest ramp angle in the guide; the heel sits more than 15 mm above the toes, giving you the sensation that you're running downhill all the time. Several testers commented on the shoe's "fast feel." One knock: The sizing runs a little small and some testers had to bump up a half-size.

BOTTOM LINE: Provides ideal support for a wide range of runners.

Runner's World Wear Testers Say

“I liked that they were lightweight, but I found the lacing system awkward. It would take me some time to get the correct fit.”—Julia Jones, 50, San Diego

“I really liked how lightweight the shoe was while the midfoot wrap made me feel secure.”– Joey Iding, 31, East Lansing, Michigan

“I loved the fact that it felt lightweight yet was so supportive. However, I could have gone up a half size.”—Tracy Golba, 50, San Diego
